Abstract:
This paper discusses the distortion of interaural time information by modern digital hearing aids. It is shown that two popular noise reduction techniques, namely a directional microphone and an adaptive directional microphone, are very sensitive to intermicrophone mismatch which results in the distortion of interaural time information. This interaural information is crucial for sound localization and speech perception in noise.
